Red...GREAT post, and I thought I'd share something with the forum. I have had a flat bed tow once, when a clutch slave cylinder broke, but I was able to drive the car onto the flatbed with the starter motor, but I always worried about the 'scuffing' of a rope/chain attached anywhere to the front of the car. Once I finished the build (a Lonestar), I made a separate piece that I always carry in the trunk for such an eventuality.

(I swear to god you'd think it would be frigging easy to post a frigging image into this frigging forum...LOL. I have a Masters degree AND a PhD in Computer Science and I cannot ever get it to work...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh...still, here's a picture of it through this link...grrrrrr...I LOVE this forum, but there MUST be easier ways to post a frigging image...
. I have read every frigging post under the 'upload images' search and I STILL cannot frigging do it!!!!! I have tried every frigging 'attach this', 'post that' frigging button on the frigging post reply screen
)
If you detect a slight note of frustration, YOU ARE FRIGGING RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol
I drilled two holes at the appropriate place in the crossbar of the chasis at the front, and (please god never!!!) that I have to have a tow, I can attach this piece with the two bolts and the large eyehole on the end of the screwthread (1/2" thread diameter) extends a couple of inches in front of the nose. I can attach a rope/strap through the hole .
Hope this helps someone.
